SRINAGAR (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th November, 2019) In occupied Kashmir, people in the Kashmir Valley continue to observe civil disobedience to protest Indian occupation and its August 5 illegal and unilateral decisions.As part of this movement, business activities continue to remain suspended across the Valley except for a brief period in the morning and evening.
Valley's schools, colleges and offices also wear a deserted look.While public transport remains by and large off the roads in the Valley, partial movement of some passenger vehicles is seen on few routes of Srinagar city.On the other hand, uneasy calm and uncertainty continue to prevail in the Valley and Muslim majority areas of Jammu and Ladakh regions as India-imposed unprecedented military lockdown and communications clampdown entered 107th running day, today.
